a sad and Terrible Accident.


While 1t was raining 30 hard, on
Monday evening, at about dusk,
JEANNE Partridge, a sweet little
daughter Of Mr.. Ed. Partridge, of
Erin, about seven or eight years old,
went up into the third story of the
Ceptral Hotel, ofwhich Mr.. Partridge
isproprietor, for the purpose Of clos
ing the shutters and letting down the
windows. While she was performing
this Office for the window in the
southeast corner of the building, by
somda means or other she fell out of
the window to the ground, a distance
Of at least thirty-fve or forty feet, and
was SO badly bruised that she was
taken up insensible and apparently
dead. She fell upon some square
timbers which had been placed inn
mediately under the window as q
walk or steps to the east end of the
platform, and this increased her in
juries W were supposed to be
chiefly lal, although the left side
Of her fa., sas terribly bruised. The
! physicians called in, from the first,
could give no hopes of her recovery.
She fingered in an insensible condi-
ton until Tuesday morning at half
past ten o'clock, when she passed
quietly and peacefully over the river,
s9nd Is now in the bosom of her Savior.
The unfortunate parents have the
sympathy of the entire community
in this most severe and affecting
,a4cident. This makes the second
child Mrs. Partridge has had killed.
Several years ago her son Robert, the
oldest born OF a former marriage, was
killed by railroad accident. The
funeral services were conducted from
the M. e. Church South, in Erin, on
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, by
the Rev. G. s. Gabard. They were
attended by large concourse of peo-
pie. The private residences, business
houses, streets, and even the work
shops were almost deserted during
the funeral obsequies. Everybody
seemed anxious, by this, or some
.other appropriate means, of express
ing their sorrow for the tragical fate
of little JEANNE, who was a universal
favorite, and their sympathy with
the bereaved and grief-stricken pa
= rents and family.

THE Hopkinsville papers appear to
have an overflow of Robertson Coun-
ty. The South Kentuckian says.
1t is notorious fact that the prohi-
bition law of Christian county, which
went into effect April LIST, is openly
and flagrantly violated every day
that comes. The South Kentuckian
did not advocate the passage of the
law, but majority of the voters of
the county cast their votes for its
adoption and it is now a law of the
land and we want to see it enforced
by the proper authorities. If the
present system of walking bar
rooms" is to obtain, better by far it
would be to have the law repealed
and let the city derives revenue from
liquor licenses. There are scores Of
places in the city where orders can be
placed for whisky, which will be
promptly delivered in bottles.
